have been all over Southern California
and find the people have the rheumatism,
gout, consumption, small pox, scarlet feYel
and colds here just the same as they dc
east. The corns grow just as large here
and hurt Just as bad as they do there. The
people die and are buried just the same.
The fogs are just as damp and penetrating
as any In the east. The dust is Just as fine
and It stays with you more months In the
year; you have to wash once every day In
the week and some days twice. The wind.
blow fully as well here as there-one gen
tleman told me he believed that California
winds beat the world.
1t rains once In great while, There Is
no thunder or lightning to purify the air
here as you have there. The mountains
have never been moved or their faces
changed for centuries. You see the same
old peaks every day-not q rock has been
moved
The climate boils out Of these mountains
and Il slfted around wherever the real es-
tate man desires Il. About next year the
fruit, oranges, lemons and grapes, vii DC
grown three or four miles up the sides OF
these mountains, because the land in the
valleys is nearly all sold out. Telegraph
poles will be used to push up the grape
vines to give room for the climate TO circu-

wild speculative excitement over real estate
Of six months since has passed away, and
only steady, healthy advance has existed
SINCE have known of no inside lots
selling for less than was asked three or six
months since, and most of them from 500
to $500 advance The building
boom is what the people want, and
1t Is still raging. From 900 to 700
houses are being constructed now
Business blocks Of the finest character,
factories of various kinds are being built
and more knocking at our door every day
for chance to come Anyone who cares
to know about the only city In Kansas,
which the Kansas City papers consider Of
enough importance to publish the clearing
house reports, will see that last week, our
increase over the corresponding week of
last year, Is 103 per cent; by far the great
est of any city in the United States, and Of
itself Is evidence enough of our prosper
ity, and should effectuslly silence all croak-
ers about her decline. 1t Is a mystery to
me why almost every town In Kansas should
wish to crush Wichita. Why, they don't
the Importance 1t is to the vel
fare and pride of our state to build up a
center, In our own borders,
instead of trying to assist poor
I'D Missouri to make such a
,enter within her state lines. With
proper effort Wichita will become the gate
way of the great north, through which their
wheat will pass to reach the gulf. 1t will
also become great distributing point to
he whole country tributary to it, reaching
,ut to every point of the compass. Kansas
City sees this and this Is why they are using
very means. fair or foul, to down us. but
10 far their efforts have been futile and
heir injustice and false statements have
,nly given us prestige and notorlety.
Yours truly. D. E. FULLER.

DEMOCRATIC LOGIC.

A police commission was appointed for
the city of Wichita on the petition OF q
large number of Democratic petitioners,
therefore Republicans should vote the
Democratic ticket.
2. Y. Healy excurted down east last
summer and found some old cities IN a
prohibition state that has decreased In popu-
lation. therefore Republicans should help
to defeat the best ticket ever nominated In
this county.
The Republican party resolved that 1t IS
Ia favor of the execution of all laws consh-
tutionally enacted, and the Democratic
party did not say whether they were in
favor or opposed to the execution of all
laws SO enacted, therefore vote the Demo
cratic ticket, and don't you forget It.
Geo. W. Click a Democrat, was elected
governor of Kansas by Republican votes.
He appointed George Martin Judge of the
district court of Shawnee. county. Judge
Martin proved himself the most radical
Judge for the enforcement Of prohibition
who ever occupied the bench in Kansas,
therefore Republicans ought to help defeat
Hays, Reed, Dunkin, DEAN and Pltman.
The Metropolitan Police law was enacted
last winter when the Repubn-
cans were In the majority In
the legislature, therefore every.fool Repub-
ncan in Sedgwick county must vote the
county Democratictic ticket this fall And
so your petitioners will ever pray.
@. D. KIRK,
J. G. MCCoY,
F. G. sNYTH, Jr.,
Z. r. EBERT,
and other distinguished democrats who
signed the petition for police commission.
The Democratic party In Sedgwick coun-
ty are making a herculean effort to get
some good offices this fall sud they call
this home rule, therefore purely for chsri-
ty Republicans should help the hungry
crowd to feas; by voting the Democratic
ticket. They should vote it straight

The Knights Of Labor of San Antonio
Texas, have organized themselves into al
association to protect themselves, they say
against the extortlonate prices charged by
the local butchers for green meats. They
have raised capital stock Of ten thousand
dollars In shares of two hundred and fifty
dollars each which were taken by the mem
bers Of the order. With this fund they
have established local repositories in
different parts of the city from which is
supplied refrigerated meats at actual cost Of
purchase and handling TO the members. Il

to return the compliment by instituting 6

Allen G. Thurman made political
speech at Covingtcn. Ky, the other day
st the conclusion Of which he said: "My
friends, this Is probably the last politics
speech I shall ever make, bu. l do ne'
know. am pretty tough old fellow
and it may be that VIII be wandering
about here, like q ghost on the baGks OF
Styx, ten years from now talking Democ-
racy to yeu." The remark was probably
suggested by the conviction thst he hssn'
a ghost of a chance for political pieferment

ago. Mr.. Thurman is one OF the ables
men of his party, but unfortunately 10
him he prostituted his talents TO compro

Marsh Murdock is making an effort to
establish his reputation as a prophet. He
says that seven years ago he told party OF
gentlemen In Washington that In ten years
Kansas City would be as great as st. Louis.
Colonel Murdoch was very sensible man
seven years ago.-Kansas City Star.
And he says today that Wichita viii be
as great as Kansas City inside of seven
years. He has more faith in this last pre-
diction than the first, even with that almost
fulfilled.

The st. Louis Globe says there Is some
reason just now for the belief that the SUI
gar trust will collapse before 1t has had a
chance to get fairly into operation. The
smaller members Of the combine" 1t
seems, imagine that their rights and priv
ileges are not sufficiently respected by the
larger ones, and "trouble" has ensued as a
consequence. One refinery has even gone
so far in its repudiation of the mandates of
the ruling members Of the clique as to re-
sumo work In defiance Of the orders of the
trust. The public will view the complica-
tions with considerable complacency,
knowing that even If the combination sur
wives the attacks being made upon 1t from
within 1t will be shattered by the people
whenever its exactions become really op-
pressive." The Globe might have added
that the reason of this defiance of trusts
and combines by the people is that they

1uction in the southwest.

and women was secured, but not the popu
lation. These gave 67S women votes
The total from the last two lists make
up the sum of the votes from 232 cities tC
be sc, 1914; vote Of men, 81, SAG; vote of
women, 5,44S. If we add to this 374, the
number of votes cast by women In the
fifteen towns from which we have none but
the women vote, we have the sum of %, ,S22
votes that we know of cast by women.
Added to this should be the vote vastly the
women In the nineteen towns from which
no information was procured, and twelve
towns of which we have the total vote
only, thirty one cities In all, of which we
have no knowledge as to how many women
voted"
At the close Of his paper, he says: "1t Is
no longer question whether women want
to vote, They have voted with an intelli-
gent, jealous, earnest interest in the good
Of the community In which they have their
homes. In every instance they voted for
home and freside, for the freeing of the
community Of those demoralizing influ-
ences and temptations from which every
good woman would deliver those Of her
own household"
In conclusion, If there are some conserv-
ative women who do not care to vote, or
rather, If there are some women who have
conservative husbands who will not allow
them to vote, that Is no argument why
equal suffrage should not be granted.
All men do not vote; that Is evident, for
again and again they are urged through the
press to register, and to be faithful to their
duty at the polls. Yet "their Indifference"
has never been used as an argument TO dis
franchise the men.
I heartily concur with Hon. 81. B. Black
we'll when he says that ''the suffrage move
ment Is the greatest reform of the age"
Women are strong In proportion TO their
convictions, and the eternal principle of
right is the foundation 'on which Equal
Suffrsg!sts have taken their stand and 10
which must tend the moral, the intellectual,
and the religious elements Of the world.
Respectfully, A CITIZEN.

The city was full of people yesterday
and word was brought from all parts OF
the county that the Republican ticket Is
daily gaining In strength. People are now
fully convinced that the cry against the
Republican party on account OF recent
legislation is all blind to get some offices
for few Democrats. Only a second
thought is necessary to convince any ono
that the election this fall can have no in
fuence whatever on legislation one way or
the other

The country permitted itself to be BAN
boozled three years ago by the cry of "turr

change has been such as to give 1t a dis
gust at its act In that matter and 1t will
correct the mistake by restoring the Re
publican party to the control of the gov
ernment at the earliest opportunity. Be
gin the good work In Sedgwick county by
electing the good and capable men On the
Republican ticket.

Butler county, this State, Is to have

of thrift. showing that manufactures see
the folly and waste Of sending out raw
materials out of the State to be manufact-

BY II. II. BALLARD.


In early life, thoughtless skipped along,
And knew that death was somewhere on
ahead: esss
But now know he's near, I smell the
grave,
Rot-house of nations, built DER all the
world
In cells convenient, here and there, one at
A place, to suit the constant wants of
death,
Who stores away the falling nations as
They come within his ,reach. Sometimes
he deals -
By wholesale strokes, and needs a larger
place
BY earthquake shock he splits the ground
apart,
And drops the cities in. He makes league
With lightning's blaze to fire the stately
ship
And shovels human ashes in the deep.
In secret poison's hidden fount he dips
His lethal dart, and calls for wholesale
tombs,
AS pestilence piles trophies at his feet.
Not satisfied, he makes appeal to war,
And contributions from the harvest field
Of blood call loud for one big coffin, made
OF earth. Co.
So far I've mostly Stunned the place W.
Where deaths main army lay encamped,
but scouts
Are on my track; nor can long escape.
But then Pm not the first to go to that
Dark prison land: My Captain long before,
Was chained and guarded there; but did
unroof
The prison house, and carry off the gates,
Breaking down the doors, and leaving
breach
That never yet has been repaired rgain.
